Chapter 355
"Li, can you make that damn three-pointer?" Phil didn't ask Kobe, but asked Li Tian directly. There are 8 minutes left in the game, which seems very long, but the offensive rhythm of the two teams is very fast. Slow down, chasing points is not that easy.

The Lakers made too many turnovers, especially Kobe and Fisher, one made 4 turnovers and the other 3 turnovers.In one game, 18 turnovers have been made before the end of the game. This is the most unacceptable situation for Phil.

Even with the increase in defensive strength, the number of turnovers is higher than that of the opponent, which is unacceptable to Phil.

"No problem, I will try my best to run out of the phone." Li Tian nodded heavily. This time is the time to test his ability the most.

The most critical point to get the team to chase points, if it is before, there is only one way, and that is to let Kobe hold the ball.The next step is how not to give the opponent three points. There is only a 7-point difference. You can give the opponent two points, but you must not give a three-point opportunity.

"Kobe, the team needs you to attract the defense and create mobile opportunities for Lee. Is there a problem?" He frowned and stared at Kobe.

"No problem, I can do it, but he only has two chances to miss, more than two, I will take over the game!" The voice is unquestionable, even Phil can't, if Li Tian has two consecutive misses, he can't Score and he will definitely take over the game.

"No problem, if this happens, you can end the game in your own way! I will never stop you, you can do whatever you want!" Phil shrugged. If Li Tian can't score, then Kobe can only do it .

If Li Tian can't recover, then if he wants to win, he can only rely on Kobe to go in one ball at a time.

The same is true for Spoelstra. He must defend the opponent's three-pointer and try to slow down the offensive rhythm as much as possible.Reduce the number of rounds, hit the success rate, fuck Wade, let him break through or score a breakthrough.

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle and the game started.

The two teams all switched to the starting lineup, and it took 8 minutes to chase 7 points. If it was more than ten years later, it would definitely feel very easy, but in this era, 7 points is also an insurmountable moat. Feel.

Without the presence of the second idiot, Beasley, Li Tian felt that the fun on the court was much less.

Looking at the old and hot Marion, Li Tian no longer felt the discomfort of being guarded on the court. After all, his physical strength had dropped sharply, and he wanted to catch up with the younger him, let alone after three quarters.

"Young man, you are very good, but this game belongs to the Heat!" The two chased for the whole game, and Marion had never spoken, but now he suddenly spoke, which caught Li Tian by surprise.

"I don't think so. As long as the game is not over, there is hope of winning." The momentum must not be weak.

"The Lakers must win. If you want to come to the Lakers with a basic salary, there will definitely be a championship." Li Tian continued to add.I don't know when it started, but I always go to poach people inadvertently.This is a problem, and it needs to be corrected, mainly because there is no achievement.

With Wade holding the ball, the tasks of Chalmers, a tool man, have been reduced a bit, leaving only defense and pick-and-roll, not even dribbling.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!" Bryant yelled.

The shouts of the fans improved the momentum of the Heat.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, he broke through Kobe's defense, went to the basket, faced Bynum's supplementary defense, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop.

72:81 points difference was widened to 9 points.

Kobe dribbled the ball halfway, and made a gesture of pressing down with his right hand, signaling his teammates, hold on, don't wave.

Except for Kobe, the other four Lakers players on the court were all running off the ball, seemingly erratically.In fact, they are all covering for Li Tian, ​​and there may be a large change of direction at any time. With the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll, he can throw off the chasing Marion.

"That's the time!" Seeing the opportunity, Li Tian predicted that his teammates and opponents would collide in a second, forming a wall to block Marion's pursuit.

Quick dodge, squeezed between Gasol and Haslem, ran towards the three-point line.

"Ball!" Just passed through the two, throwing off Marion's defense.

Kobe, who always pays attention to the changes of his teammates' positions, also shook his wrist, hitting the ground and passing the ball to Li Tian.

When he arrived on the team, his position was just right. Compared with last season, Li Tian's sharp-eyed pass was so good that he didn't need to make any adjustments, just took off and shot a three-pointer.

"This running position is not only coquettish, but every time it changes direction, with the help of teammates and opponents' bodies, it can always take advantage of them by surprise and form a human wall. Marion was blocked by Gasol and Haslem In front of him, there is an open opportunity outside Li Tian's three-point line." At the very beginning, Director Zhang saw the Lakers' tactics and didn't know what it was for. When Li Tian threw off Marion to chase and defend, he understood Phil's strategy. true intentions.

"Li Tian took off, shot a three-pointer from outside, and there was no defense in front of him. However, according to the shooting rate in this game, 4 of 1 three-pointers, such a shooting rate rarely occurs in the new season. Can this ball be hit? Let's wait and see!" Yu Jia felt that it might not be a wise choice to shoot a three-pointer at this time, and it might be better to hit the basket, at least it can ensure that the point difference will not be widened.

The ball is in the air, flying towards the basket bit by bit.

The positioning at the basket became more intense. Anthony, Haslem, Bynum, and Gasol were fighting hand-to-hand under the basket. Muscles kept colliding. Although the sound was not harsh, everyone who heard it could feel it. Pain in the flesh and twitching in the face.

"Shua!" The ball went in.

At this moment, Phil clenched his right hand tightly and waved his fist fiercely.With a little more peace of mind, Li Tian finally regained the touch beyond the three-point line.

75:81 points difference was narrowed to 6 points.

Wade originally planned to play a fast break while the Lakers were still celebrating just after scoring a goal, but how could this be possible? Except for Bynum, the other four have experienced the baptism of the finals and kept their attention at all times. The quality of the team is quite high. high.

At such a critical moment, they didn't celebrate at all, but all returned to defense. Even Bynum was motivated, running at a speed similar to the opening.

Quickly return to the anti-drop position.

Seeing the speed of the Lakers returning to defense, Wade couldn't help being taken aback. This speed was faster than the Heat's finals, and he couldn't help but sigh, "This is the real strong team. , It is inevitable to lose the halberd and sink into the sand, that is, if you meet the Mavericks and switch to another team, it will definitely be useless."

Take back your thoughts and concentrate on attacking.

It was still a strong kill to the basket, Mi Zongbu broke through Kobe, this time he didn't call a pick and roll, just to paralyze Kobe, obviously, he succeeded this time.

Seeing the Lakers twin towers galloping upwards, they made an emergency stop, took off from the free throw line, leaned on Kobe behind him with his body, and made a throw.

"Touch!" In order to avoid Gasol's block, Wade can only choose to throw the board high, which is very difficult, but it can only be done like this. The twin towers inside of Gasol and Bynum are full of fear.

"Shua!" After the ball hit the backboard, it bounced a few times on the basket before falling into the basket unwillingly.

75:83 points difference back to 8 points again.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!" Every defense, the fans are like this, cheering for the home team.

The Lakers, who have experienced a big scene, are only a little bit nervous in Bynum. Even the Celtics who hate the Lakers most at home, they are not afraid.

Just like before, Kobe served in the center, and the Heat didn't dare to let go easily as long as he stood there. One man marked, and the other kept double-teaming.

Li Tian ran without the ball, passed by Kobe, received the ball hand-to-hand, and Kobe ran to the free throw line in an empty cut.Attract Wade to defend, and Chalmers to chase and double-team.

The ball was given to Fisher, and Chalmers could only return to defense.Kobe's defense weakened, and Fisher returned the ball to Kobe who was heading for the basket.

Seeing this, Marion could only go to double-team. The Heat's outside defense has been disrupted by the Lakers for several consecutive passes.The inside line was blocked by the Lakers Twin Towers again, and Li Tian returned to the three-point line again, waiting for the pass.

Marion suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly turned around to return to defense.

The moment Kobe used Marion to return to the defense, he passed the ball behind his back and scored it outside the three-point line.

"The tactics of the Lakers are very complicated. They pass the ball continuously. If there is a slight mistake, they may be intercepted by the Heat. The risk is too great." Yu Jia said.

Director Zhang also nodded, "Indeed, at critical moments, the more passes are made, the more mistakes will be made. Especially in this game, the Lakers made so many mistakes in the first three quarters."

Director Zhang always feels that Phil is playing a big game of chess. Phil already has a trump card - Kobe, and wants to create another trump card - Li Tian.At such a tense moment, consciously cultivating Li Tian's offensive awareness at critical moments, a victory in the regular season, does not matter to the Lakers today.

"Li Tian caught the ball again from outside the three-point line, and he shot again. Can the ball go in?" The atmosphere in the Tianchao studio was very tense. The pass to the court affected the result of Li Tian's shot.

"The ball went in!" Yu Jia slapped the table and shouted.

The three-pointer scored 78:83 again, with 5 points left.

The American Airlines Center is very quiet, and the fans are helping the team with silent shouts.

Wade panted heavily, and his two consecutive bursts exhausted him a lot of physical energy. Defending Kobe on the defensive end required a lot of physical energy, even for Kobe who did not attack with the ball.

Wade greeted his teammates and came forward to help with the pick-and-roll. He knew that if he attacked Kobe so forcefully every time, he would not be able to finish the game.Several attempts from the outside line were blocked by Kobe in advance, and he could only break through the basket.

Chalmers stepped forward to pick and roll.

"Bump!" There was a sound of heavy muscles colliding, Chalmers was almost hit by Kobe, he couldn't remember, this is the first time he was hit by Kobe like this.

Wade got to the basket as he wished, but Fisher's footsteps were still slow, so he could only delay the breakthrough, buy time for the inside line, and be able to step forward in time to make up the defense.

"Crack!" The noise was louder this time.

Gasol's big hand slapped Wade's right arm heavily, making him crooked when he shot.

"Beep!" Seeing that the shot didn't go in, the referee blew his whistle. His original plan was to call a foul if the shot didn't go in, and not to blow it if he made the shot.

"It hurts!" Wade rubbed the part that had just been beaten, and spat out two words viciously.

The first free throw was short, and Gasol's foul was too hard just now; the second free throw was scored.

Wade greeted his teammates and quickly returned to defense.

Kobe dribbles quickly through the half court, still in the same position, but with a different style of play.

The rest of the Lakers continued to play off the ball, but no longer relied on pick-and-rolls, all relying on running ability.This made the Heat, who had just prepared for supplementary defense and assistance defense, a mess.Can only follow the defense behind the ass, hoping to prevent the Lakers from passing the ball.

Li Tian kept changing directions, sometimes accompanied by sudden stops and sudden changes of direction. Marion was chasing after him, and it became more and more difficult.

PS Marion "Don't run if you have the ability, I will definitely prevent you!"

PS Li Tian "I just ran, hey, I stopped, you chase; hey, I changed direction again, why don't you come and chase me, you can't catch me, come on!"

In this way, Li Tian ran for ten seconds, Marion chased behind him for 10 seconds, and Kobe stood for 10 seconds.Wade didn't dare to relax in the slightest. Kobe's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he might start to go to the basket at any time. What's more, Kobe didn't consume much physical strength in the few attacks just now.

Throwing off Marion's pursuit, calmly came to the three-point line, Kobe scored the ball.

"Li Tian made another three-pointer. My God, is this the third three-pointer? The ball is scored, and another three-pointer from the outside line!" Yu Jia felt that Li Tian was playing a training game. Lu, the sky is blue.

The American Airlines Center Arena, which was originally extremely lively, was hit by Li Tian's three consecutive three-pointers, and his momentum was almost lost.

81:84 The two sides are only one ball away.

Si Bo put his head in his hands. He couldn't believe that Li Tian, ​​who was 4 for 1 in the first three quarters, would suddenly explode.There is only one round left in the point difference. If Wade fails to hit this time, or is fouled by Gasol again and makes one of two free throws, the Heat will not be able to play.Adjustments have to be made, both offensively and defensively.

"Li Tian's three-pointer stopped the Heat. They must make some changes, or they will be overtaken sooner or later!" Director Zhang said.

Spoel's biggest headache was that Marion's point was a huge exhaustion of physical strength, and now it was too difficult to catch up with Li Tian, ​​but he turned his head and glanced at Beasley, then shook his head again.

"On the offensive end, Wade continues to score points. There are no good opportunities outside, so don't shoot lightly; Wade, Chalmers, you must do a good job to help Marion defend. Once Marion loses his defensive position, you immediately go up to assist. Guard!" Spoel said.

"Then Kobe, what should we do?" Wade asked. He always believed that Kobe was the biggest threat, not one of them, even Li Tian, ​​who just hit 3 out of 3, couldn't compare.

"We can't take care of both of them now. Try to guide him to break through and prevent him from taking three-pointers. Is there a problem?" He just took over the coach, and he still has some shortcomings for such a response, so he can only treat headaches. Treat your feet for head and foot pain.

After the timeout, Wade broke through with the ball, Li Tian stepped forward to help defend, and gave the ball to Marion.

The mid-range shot was short, and the consumption of strength made him lose his confidence in shooting accuracy.

Gasol grabbed the rebound and, in order to avoid mistakes, handed it to Kobe.

With the help of Gasol's several pick-and-rolls, he broke through Wade's double-team.The offense failed just now, giving the Lakers a chance to tie the score.

Li Tian moved, and Kobe lobbed it to Gasol.Marion took advantage of the situation to make up the defense and assigned it to Li Tian on the outside.Wade can only go to make up the defense, throwing Kobe to Chalmers to make up the defense, and Marion also returns to the defense.

After receiving the ball, he didn't even make a joint ball, and directly dialed it to Kobe.

"Kobe caught the ball from outside the three-point line, he made a shot, and the ball went in!" Hearing a "snap", Director Zhang almost jumped up.

84:84 The two teams tied again. This is the first time the Lakers have tied since the start.

With 4 minutes left in the game, the two sides started again from the same starting line.

Spoel looked to see that there were still two timeouts left, so he had to wait until later. He didn't dare to call the timeout just now.Facing the old and spicy Phil, he was at an absolute disadvantage.If there is no timeout at the last moment, it will be very difficult for this Heat team to win the Lakers, and they can only rely on the players' own performance.

This is also the only way to transform into a strong team. In the 06 season, if O'Neal hadn't been strong enough to crush the Mavericks' inside line, the Heat's championship would not have been known when they would have won it.

After thinking for a while, Spoel made up his mind that at this moment, a timeout cannot be called.

He had to yell "Pick and roll! Don't stand, run, Marion" from the sidelines. As soon as he yelled Marion's name, Spoelstra seemed to remember something and didn't continue talking.

He looked at Beasley several times, but shook his head again, he didn't dare to let him go at this time.Because even if the current lineup loses the game, the fans will only say that the Heat have tried their best, but if Beasley goes up and makes a mistake, his rotation will be criticized.

Wade suddenly accelerated, strayed away from Kobe, and finally opened up a certain space, struggling to get a shot.Seeing Li Tian stepping forward to defend, he didn't dare to pass the ball to Marion again.Without hesitation, he shot directly. In order to avoid Li Tian who was defending, he accelerated the speed of the shot, and the rhythm of the shot was disrupted.

"It's broken!" I realized that because I was afraid of blocking the shot just now, the speed of my shot became faster, and I used a bit too much force.

Gasol squeezes Haslem out of the way for a key defensive rebound.

Hold the ball tightly in your arms, and don't give Anthony and Haslem a chance to steal.

Li Tian and Kobe both came to meet him.Kobe took the ball and dribbled it steadily across half court.

Has lost the opportunity to fast break, signaled his teammates to drop positions.There were constant slaps and muscular collisions under the basket, which lasted for two seconds before the four of them completed their positions.

Continuous running without the ball, came outside the three-point line, this time Wade did not dare to come to help defend, Kobe just scored a three-pointer, it was too critical.

Marion quickly followed, but Kobe still passed the ball.

After receiving the ball, Li Tian held the ball and stood on the left three-point line. Gasol had cleared the basket for him.

Three threats, continuous shaking, Marion subconsciously wanted to defend the three-pointer, Li Tian suddenly accelerated, broke through the defense, and rushed to the inside.

Anthony pushed Bynum aside and lunged forward.

Emergency stop, take-off, and mid-range shots.The three three-pointers just made the Heat ignore his mid-range shot, which can also kill the game.

"Shua!" The basketball went into the net hollowly.

Marion was crazy, didn't he agree to shoot a three-pointer?Why is there still a middle distance? It's not that the coach didn't remind him, but the consecutive three-pointers. He has to make a choice on the defensive end.

Seeing this, Spoel quickly called another timeout.

In 5 minutes, Li Tian scored 11 points in a row, coupled with Kobe's 3-pointer, with a [-]% shooting percentage, this is the existence that Spoelstra fears the most.
